Sid
I’m Homed
One month in foster: Posted on behalf of Sid's foster family: Sid continues to thrive, he is very settled and he is a very affectionate dog, both giving and accepting cuddles. We have begun to leave at home for periods of time ( with our other greyhound) We have continued to try to integrate Sid with other dogs. We have found that he is ok with most dogs his own size & shows a lot of interest in smaller ones. However, he did have an issue with another dog which was off the lead running towards him at speed & barking, he was spooked & unsure what was happening. However, Sid is still very nervous around loud unexpected noises. We took Sid to Bromsgrove, and he was clearly unsettled with the amount of people around and also the loud noises coming from a building site, he was very unsettled. However, once removed from there to somewhere quieter he soon became like his old self. We can also confirm that Sid is not cat friendly, he gets very very excited when he sees them. As Sid is unpredictable around loud noises it might be prudent that Sid is not placed with very young children, also as he is very energetic, excitable & playful which also may be a problem for younger children. He likes to collect shoes socks etc he likes to chew but he does have toys for this & he has not damaged anything other than toys. He would also benefit from being placed with another dog perhaps one a bit older than he is. He walks really well on the lead he will require lots of good long walks, he is an absolute ' hip magnet ' & loves company all the time. An absolutely beautiful bundle of joy & happiness.

Little Truf Truf had a trip to,the vet today. She has injured one of her nails and it looked very sore. The vet decided it needed to be removed but unfortunately it is still quite firm and she was unable to do it today without her being sedated. She has to go back again on Thursday...poor little soul, she was such a good girl and so brave. Xxx

Poor Magic has been returned today. Despite doing so well at setting in to his new home and meeting other breeds, yesterday he had an incident with another dog and has therefore been returned. It was an awful shock for his owner who is upset at returning him.

Caesar
I’m a Sponsor Dog
We recently celebrated the birth of Caesar, which was a great milestone. This weekend I managed to have a good look at the tumour on his tongue and unfortunately, I have to report that it has grown a bit 🙁 Whilst this is the case, he keeps on our toes and is a good naughty boy. He is still enjoying life and we will support him for as long as he is not in pain. I am doing training with him, he gets enrichment tasks to do, going out on adventures and in the sand run. Of course, he has a tag team partnership with Barney to try and raid the kitchen.

Villa
I’m Homed
Took the adorable Villa to Brueton Park today. He jumped straight into the car and after a while settled down for the journey. Once at the park he was fascinated by everything around him. He took no notice of other dogs and liked to be at the front when walking. Took him into Solihull where he spent his time people watching while we had a coffee. He is a strong but gentle dog who liked to lean and he was a pleasure to take out. Looking forward to taking him out again until he finds his forever sofa xx
